    What are you towing your Cyclone 4012 with

    We also have an 09 3355RL and tow with an 08 F350 V10 with the integrated brake controller. The integrated brake controller is excellent and we have been happy with our towing setup. For our setup the gain is best set at 5.0 and it seems to brake the trailer just right. The V10 does not tow...

    2009 BC 3355RL Cold Weather Trip / Easy Winterization

    Just returned from our last outing of the year in the mountains of Idaho near the Continental Divide. In 3 days the temperature never got above 29 F and the night time lows were in the teens. BC performed flawlessly including the undercarriage and slide mechanisms, which got iced up during...

    I'm going nuts!!!

    Heartland Products Great, No Worries Purchased a 2009 Big County 3355RL this past March. Have been out on 6 trips this summer, 20 nights total, towed hundreds of miles on rough roads, zero problems of any kind. None. I cleaned out the little screens in the faucets to remove the sawdust (have...

    First Trip with 2009 BC 3355RL!

    Last weekend we took our first trip with our new BC 3355RL. Our PDI was kind of rushed because it was winter and cold, etc. I tested everything before we left and it all seemed to work fine. Drove about 100 miles to our campsite, got set up, and every component of the coach worked great. No...

    Trouble deciding which model

    We recently purchased a 2009 3355RL Big Country. The kitchen counter space is acceptable especially with the little pop up section of counter that is actually pretty stable. We love the floorplan where the bedroom is an actual room of its own. Very happy with the quality of our unit so far...

    2008 F350 V10, 2009 Big Country 3355RL

    Thanks again. Fortunately my wife is realistic about packing and I am probably more guilty of packing too much stuff than she is! :) Nice info from Wikipedia on the Super Duty trucks. I have long believed that Ford builds a heavier duty truck than GM or Dodge. I am not trying to flare up GM...

    2008 F350 V10, 2009 Big Country 3355RL

    Thanks for the weight analysis. My F350 has a GVWR of #11,000 according to the sticker on the doorjam. As stated, the GCWR is #21,000 for my engine/axle combo. The 3355RL came with a dry weight of #10,940 and I have verified that weight on a scale. The dry pin weight is advertised at...

    2008 F350 V10, 2009 Big Country 3355RL

    Thanks Truknutt. I had a 1999 F350 V10, when the new super duty body style first came out. I remember being disappointed with the towing and was hesitant to come back to the V10. My research showed that Ford made some good changes with 3 valves per cylinder and the torque coming on much...

    2008 F350 V10, 2009 Big Country 3355RL

    Just took delivery of a 2009 BC 3355RL. I was not sure how our 08 F350 V10 would handle the weight. The hitch load is not an issue with the F350 (11,000# GVW Package with single rear wheels). The V10 did a very nice job! With the 4:10 rear end and the Torqshift tranny it was easy to get the...
